Summer Days

On Father's Day this year went taught Aiden how to ride his bike without training wheels.  The boys have bikes but they haven't really rode them much.  Now that all of them are older we thought it was a good time to teach Aiden.  It really didn't take that long for him to get it.  While we were on vacation he practiced and practiced.  So when we got home he had gotten so good now he rides around the block.  It's so cute.  I love it.  So I went and got a bike and a little trailer so the boys and I  can all ride around the block together.  Getting a bike was on my 30 before 30 list.   I love my bike.  It's a sunshiny yellow Schwinn Cruiser.  I think we are going to have lots of fun this summer and plenty of exercise!!

I have also read two more books.  They were so good.

This book was just a easy sweet read.  I would say it is perfect for a beach read.  It's basically about letters that a grandma has written her granddaughter about her life.  The main theme throughout the book is not giving up on love.  You may need a tissue!

I read another novel by Gillian Flynn.  Her books are so good and I cannot put them down.  They are so dark yet the characters are so likable.  I thought I had it figured out and then wham!  I was so wrong.

I am now at 25 books read this year!  I am half way to my goal of reading 50 books before I turn 30!  I have so many books that I want to read.  I am sure that I will meet my goal with no problem.  If anyone has any good book recommendations please leave a comment!

Back to the Real World

Tim and I just got back from our vacation to Cancun.  We also celebrated our seventh anniversary while on vacation.  It was wonderful to get a break from the real world.  Our boys stayed here with my mom and grandma.  They had a blast.  Yesterday when we dropped them off at the airport to go home the only person not crying was my husband.  I feel awful that we don't live close to any family.  I love when my boys get to spend time with my mom and grandma and I know that a fun time was had by all.

When we were in Cancun, we went swimming with the dolphins.  This is probably the top thing I have always wanted to do.  When I was younger I wanted to be a dolphin trainer and they are my favorite animal.  I loved it.  Tim said I didn't look like I was really interested in in while we were doing and that's because I was trying to control my emotions.  I didn't want to cry in front of everyone!!  My emotions were a little overwhelming, but I managed to hold in the tears!

I loved Cancun.  It was beautiful.  It was however very American and very expensive.  It was hard to find Mexican food and I love to travel and experience other cultures especially their FOOD!  We did have some amazing food while we were there!

I was so excited to get home because I missed my boys so much.  I do think that Tim and I need to try and getaway (even if it's just a weekend) more often.  I feel refreshed and I'm ready to tackle the real world head on!!
